Well were here, this will be the first time out since breaking an axle at VMP. Were going to run the TnT today still trying to get a handle on this combo. I've replace all the electronics and hope this gets it straight. The TnT runs 11:00 to 5:00 today leaving plenty of time to make it to the Shady Maple yum yum. The weather today looks great getting down to the mid 50s last night. Parking is ok just stay out of the middle of the lower field. One other thing Diesel fuel is $3.79 in PA ouch. More later.

Sounds like you've busy with the car. Good luck this weekend. Looking forward to the updates.
If Diesel stays at that price for long I've got a sneaky feeling there will be a fire sale on a lot of DP motor-homes. It's not that bad in the south (yet) $2.89 locally and $3.09 on the road. Caterpillar says that the only true way to improve the fuel economy in my MH is to slow way down. At those prices I'll be the guy holding up traffic going 55. Hopefully prices will settle down soon.

Marty & Ray thanks, no Powerglide yet but working on it I've got a case and a bunch of parts hopefully but the end of the season. Well my time runs have at least gone how I hoped. Started really fast and after 2 corrections went a 10.902. Hope to start out good tomorrow. The diesel fuel prices are bad at home also 2.99. I've paid $4+ a few years ago. That sux

Robbie & Ken,

I’ll be down tomorrow morning and will get some shots also to help you guys out. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get my dad to bring the car so I’ll be playing crew for a few .90 cars and TS & TD teams.

Ken & Rob thanks for the help on the thread. If anyone has something to contribute please do. Todays schedule, tech opens at 8-4 time runs 8:30-4:30. Yesterday you couldn't of asked for a more beautiful day and the race track worked well all day. I liked calling the cars by class it made for less time in the lanes. It should be another beautiful day I post photos later.
